I’ve always been obsessed with stationery, one of my clearest memories from when I was younger was playing with my grandmother’s duplicate paper catalogue order books.

Just after I decided to set up this website we went to Venice when a highlight for me was a tour, designed by my husband while I napped, of the top rated paper shops. I love it all, its lack of judgement, feel good factor and the promise of future creativity and progress but notebooks are my particular jam and one day I would love to design my own paper as they do in Venice. For now though I’ve settled with lightweight, slim-volume, recycled notebooks, easy on the carrier and the pocket.

And for anyone interested in the name I tried to come up with something short and snappy but kept coming back to this, it’s the random names for my babes - Atticus my eldest, Beetle my middle, Bopper is the baby (now 5 but forever The Baby).
